Samoan-born and raised Patrick Soon is a senior dental assistant at our Wyndham Street Dental Clinic. He loves seeing patients smile once they’ve been treated. Of Samoan and Chinese descent, Patrick is often mistaken for being solely Asian, so he likes to make conversation with people in his native Samoan tongue as an ice-breaker for nervous Samoan-speaking patients.
